Airtel is one of the best and most popular global telecommunications companies running operations in Nigeria right now.

Also known as Bharti Airtel, it is an Indian global telecommunications service based in Delhi, India and operates in 18 countries across Asia and Africa.

These plans are exclusive only to Airtel customers who have met certain criteria. As such, customers must first confirm eligibility before they can have access to these plans.

Airtel 500 Naira for 1.5 GB

This plan is very beneficial for many Airtel customers, especially those who are trying to make the most of their budget for data. Sadly, not everyone is eligible for this plan.

To confirm your eligibility, dial *418#. If you get a response that you have an insufficient balance, this means that you are eligible for this plan. If you already have enough airtime, you will be automatically subscribed to this plan.

After confirming your eligibility, buy at least 500 Naira airtime and dial *418# to activate the Airtel 500 Naira for 1.5GB plan. Note that this plan lasts for 2 weeks.

Airtel 200 Naira for 4gb

Just like the 500 Naira for 1.5GB plan, this plan is only accessible by an exclusive set of Airtel customers. An amazing addition to this plan is that fact that it also comes with free calls.

Confirm your eligibility by doing this simple thing: Text GET to 141 and wait for a reply.

If you are eligible for this plan, you will get a reply saying: “Dear customer, CONGRATULATIONS! you can enjoy 100% DATA BONUS ANYTIME EVERYDAY FOR THE NEXT 3 MONTHS.”

After this, buy 200 Naira airtime, then recharge with the special pin, *143*Recharge card pin#. You will get 4GB to browse the internet, valid for a month.

Airtel 20x bonus migration code

This 20 times bonus migration code is only for old subscribers on the Airtel telecommunications network that allows you to enjoy 20 times your normal recharge on your line.

To access any of these plans, dial *141*241# and follow the instructions given by the prompt.

Airtel double data code

With this plan, all eligible customers on the Airtel plan will get double the value of their data for every subscription. This means that for only 1000Naira, subscribers get 3GB instead of 1.5GB, 6GB for 1500 Naira, and so forth. Seems like a sweet deal!

While this is no doubt a mouthwatering deal, not all Airtel subscribers can access it. To be eligible, you must have received a text message from Airtel which goes thus:

“Get double your data when you activate 1000 Naira data bundle. To get a massive 3GB for only N1000/Valid for 30 days, just dial *496# now. From Airtel.

After confirming your eligibility, you may now go ahead to choose a data plan which will last you for up to a month, depending on your use.
